From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Timestamps are not updated right now, so programs looking for timestamp updates for file modifications (like rsync) will not detect that files have changed. We are also accessing the source data when doing a copy (but not when cloning) so we need to update atime on the source file as well.
